Tough Question of the Week:

How is the Bible different from Aesop’s Fables?

When you bring a Muslim and an atheist together to talk about hell, well, there’s just no predicting what will come of it, with ONE exception: the conversation will be anything but dull.

We welcome Ashley Sanders, a young comedian, entrepreneur and podcast host. She’s an atheist, but grew up in the church and has read the Bible three times!  Ashley was on our Miracles & Atheists live-stream a few years ago and wanted to be part of the podcast again because in her words, it’s a great way promote diplomacy, which is something she believes can change the world.

To keep the conversation riveting, we also welcomed our guest, Iqbal Ali, from New Delhi.  Ali worked and went to school at King Saud University, in Saudi Arabia.  He’s a passionate and devout Muslim, who, as you’ll be able to hear from our conversation, enjoys apologetics perhaps even more than the hosts of The Miracles and Atheists Podcast!

We talked in depth about the Christian, Muslim and yes, even atheist beliefs (or unbeliefs) about hell and the purpose of life.  It’s a far better use of time than listening to the mainstream media….that’s a promise!  Enjoy.
